Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Dear Karen, I am a practicing homeopath, and I give my patients Aconite for the fear, it usually works pretty well. I don¹t know where you live and so I cannot advise you on the potency. Let me know if you want more information. The other thing is that when people get panicky they overbreathe which can induce a panic attack, you can teach your friend to do some breathing on a regular basis in the following way, so that when she has the MRI she has an extra tool: breathe in on a count of 4 and breathe out on a count of 7, how fast or slowly she feels comfortable to do it is entirely up to her. Hope this helps. Jocelyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Dear Jocelyne, We are in Maryland, she's in Gaithersburg and I'm in Laurel. I think she'd be willing to give homeopathy a try as long as she could find a practitioner she liked/trusted. They'd need to be someone not activly antagonistic to (currently) mainstream medicine, and clueful about working with someone on a variety of meds. So if you know anyone local to us, I'd be very glad to share that information with her. I'll forward your message to her if that's ok. I don't want to paraphrase and lose some of the information in the process. I take it that it is the 4:7 ratio that matters for the breath work, and not the speed or depth? Would this hold true in cases where the panic attacks are part of a a general anxiety disorder, or only on strictly situational panics? What if someone has both - i.e. - a tendency to panic attacks anyhow, and a certainty of them in claustrophobic situations?
